U think Dalton is 12th?

Brady, Brees, Rodgers
Roethlisburger, Luck, Rivers, Newton, Ryan, Wilson, Cousins, Stafford
Mahomes, Goff, Watson, Wentz

That’s 15 easy
Could make a case for Garoppolo and Trubisky, but we need to see more from them i suppose

Dalton is in the next group with guys like Flacco, Carr & Alex Smith
I like Smith better,
So i think the highest i could go on Dalton is 17th

Dalton at 12 = too many long island ice teas

ok, so he is 14th not 12th

JESUS CHRIST


he is a hell of a lot better then what we have, just like eichel is in the kopitar group of centers



once you get past the first 10 or so players in the nhl, there is a clump of 12 or so that eichel is in


if you think jack is a top 10 player in the nhl right now, it's a homer pick because he is not

and if he had top 10 talent in the nhl, we would not have been last in the league last year


kid is the best player we have had since dom, no reason to put him on mount rushmore yet

I think what we have seen is a guy who can make a great pass once every 3-4 games but creates absolutely 0 offense on his own.

They drafted a guy 2nd overall that can’t even be a threat on a 3rd line to create match up problems.

- sbroads24


So a guy who’s gonna get 50-ish points sucks bc he can’t create offense on his own?

He’s not that style of player
Doesn’t mean he’s garbage though either

He isn’t garbage.

He absolutely is a disappointment to start another season where secondary scoring is an issue.

He isn’t getting better. He’s the same guy from year 2. I was fooled by his hot streak

Could you point out 1 play that stood out tonight? By #23.

Not the ot goal- a good play.
Everyone in my section was joking about him being scratched. Still tailgating

17th, at best
And i didn’t say anything about Eichel being a top10 player
He’s tied for 34th in scoring right now
I think it’s safe to say he’s not a top10 player in the league

He’s no Andy Dalton though either
Jack’s better than an average QB

The problem with the Sabres is that Sheary is invisible when not playing with Eichel. Mitts is struggling to adjust. 28 and 22 suck. Scandella is making Gorges look like a Norris candidate. Risto is playing too many minutes and its shown with his bonehead mistakes the last two games.

Sure
I’m right on this though

Hutton was great tonight
Almost stole 2pts for us

- jdfitz77


At the last minute mark of this game, I said to myself "we didnt deserve this win."
....and then we lost.
Recurring issues with this team are multiple give aways trying to break out of our own zone, not moving our feet and just waving our sticks around in our own zone, not applying pressure/forechecking/peeling off a player on the forecheck rather than finishing the check, really really poor passing at times.
....and we're in good shape points wise. So, im not complaining. I just think there's plenty of room for improvement.

I like big red- 12th is a tad high.

Especially if we were comparing eichel and talent.

Jack made so many small , fluent passes that go unnoticed. He is not the problem in my opinion.

He was even yelling at bowl u. Then he tapped him on the butt- captain like

Kane really helped pile up the wins, eichel and now dahlin just keep losing.

I'm a Sabres fan.
Eichel is the best talent since patty la la

Skipped 48 and 23

Jesus Christ is that all you got is Kane, he's gone let it go. Lame

4 superbowls in 7 years?

Dalton is good.
Eichel is awesome

Have you ever heard anyone refer to dalton as awesome?
Generational?

Comparing QBs from different eras statistically is dumb
There’s 20 or so guys that are gonna throw for over 4,000yds this year
Back then, the only guys who did that with any kind of consistency were Marino & Moon

So along with not scoring, I think we can finally put to bed the myth of "22 and 28 shut the game down at the end"

It's a loose term.
He's the best talent since last generation, the hasek one.

Buffalo generation- probably not nhl generational
